photosynthesis and uses of glucose
photosynthesis
produces glucose using light
takes place in chloroplast in green plant cells
endothermic reaction- energy transferred from the environment during the process
word equation= carbon dioxide+ water-> (light)-> glucose+ oxygen
uses of gluocse in plants
for respiration
making cellulose
making strong plant cell walls
making amino acids
combined with nitrate ions which are made into proteins
stored as oils or fats
stored as starch
limiting factors affecting photosynthesis
intensity of light
concentration of CO2
temperature
temperature is often the limiting factor in winter
light is the limiting factor at night
chlorophyll can also be a limiting factor of photosynthesis
